Dropping the ball in the big game

President Obama may be at fault for putting the ball in the hands of a defiant Pelosi and a vulnerable Reid as much as he has, but he is not the one dropping the ball during the legislative process to keep power and create wins since January 2009. Although we may be in the off-season for Monday Night Football right now, we had prime-time seats for Thursday afternoon blunders, failures to communicate, and lack of teamwork by the majority team last week—moves that will either cost the American people a major win for health care reform or cost the Democrats major wins in November if the president keeps counting on the wrong players to win the game.
